For today's post, I'm playing along with Dynamic Duos and Make My Monday. I thought the colour combo this week would be perfect for a wedding card and I love making fancy folded cards (the challenge this week at Make My Monday is "Fancy Folds").
I made one of my favourite folds - the Tri-Fold. I love this fold for special occasions, like weddings and birthdays. It makes such an elegant card! The actual card base is very easy to make. The only time-consuming part is decorating it, as you have to cut the pieces of designer paper just so to fit the panels on the inside of the card. But, it's worth it in the end! I love the result!
I placed textured designer paper on the card front and punched out flowers with an antique brad for the central image. Gray striped bakers twine is tied around the card front and tiny tags hang from it - one of them says "Mr. & Mrs." and the other has an elegant design.
Here are photos of different angles:
The great thing about this card is that it folds flat to 4.25" x 5.5" size and fits perfectly in an A2 size envelope.
Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Tiny Tags
Paper: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Mocha Morning DSP (ret.), Wedding DSP (Michaels)
Ink: Basic Black
Tools: Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Circle Nestabilities, Blossom punch, Five Petal Flower punch, Tiny Tag punch, Elegant Lines embossing folder
Accessories: Gray Bakers Twine (CTMH), Antique brad
This is such an elegant card! I've made one card with this fold. You're right, the cutting and folding are easy. But the decorating took much longer. Great card!
